Students and guests to campus can now print to kiosks in locations across campus using a new service from Information Technology Services. PRINT IT is a new pay-per-print that enables printing from virtually any device, as well as cloud accounts and USB drives. Black and white prints are .09 cents per print, duplex black and white prints are .15 cents and color printing is to be added in the near future. Document scanning is free of charge.

There are 20 PRINT IT kiosks located on both city and east campuses, 7 of which are in the libraries:

“It’s an easy-to-use system,” said Todd Jensen, academic technologies manager. “We see printing from your own device or from your cloud accounts being a real convenience for our students. You no longer have to pull up your documents on a lab computer—you can print from your room and pick it up later from any PRINT IT kiosk on campus.”PRINT IT is powered by Ink Labs, Inc. All online accounts are managed by Ink and the service accepts credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Wallet. Users scan their NCard at the kiosk to securely release the print.PRINT IT will run concurrently with the former Uniprint system, which will be phased out Oct. 16.

221, from 5 – 7 pm on Oct. 2, during the First Friday Art Walk.

Jeff Randall (1967-2012) was a Lincoln, NE outsider artist who
created a potent, neurologically-charged body of art during a life always
approaching full speed. The Art of Jeff Randall will afford the public the
opportunity to see Randall's minutely-detailed artworks from two perspectives:
in their original physical form, where the artist's hand is apparent, and
through digital projection, which will allow viewers to appreciate this work
enhanced and magnified. A select few of the artworks in this exhibition have
been displayed before at Randall's 2010 solo show at the Sheldon Museum of Art,
but the majority are heretofore publicly unseen.

Academic Integrity Week is a campus-wide event happening at UNL on September 21-25. Love Library will be hosting a few really useful workshops this week with topics varying from copyright to citation management!Below is a detailed list of the workshops and presentations being held at Love Library. For a list of all the events happening on campus this week, go to: http://go.unl.edu/jcky

Learn how to organize your research by using Zotero. The workshop will get you set up, show you the basics of adding to and maintaining your database, and show you how to automatically create bibliographies in your desired style (APA, MLA, etc) directly from your account. Attendees should bring their laptops.

Where does responsibility for the integrity of research fall? Through cases of retracted research publications we'll explore issues of integrity, trust, and responsibility in the research process.

Mendeley is just one program in citation management tools that links with your mobile apps and databases to organize and manage your preferences. Go deeper with using this resource to optimize your time to use the designed features to organize and share your research with your colleagues.

Copyright is a battlefield, and an author's control over his/her own work can easily become collateral damage or go missing in action. Many publisher's believe they have an inherent right to own the intellectual property arising from your grant-funded research and to live off the earnings of written works that you had little choice but to give them for free or pay them to publish.

In this session you will learn more about U.S. copyright law, authors' rights, and protecting your intellectual property. Faculty members Paul Royster and Sue Gardner will speak on copyright, fair use, and author rights. You will learn how to make copyright law work in your favor: what to do. what to avoid, when to push back, and when to run away and live to fight another day.
